I looked at the COBRA information and found it would cost me over $550 per month just for myself, and I haven't heard a word about my unemployment yet so I'm scared to commit to anything. The company's screwed me over so bad already that I expect them to fight me on UI benefits, even though they said they wouldn't.

Just for the hell of it, I tried getting rate quotes for health insurance online, and most wouldn't even let me get past the part about weight. A couple let me go as far as diabetes and high blood pressure before bringing the hammer down on my application, and then one let me get all the way through the damned thing before saying "Sorry, we cannot insure you at this time".
